Finally!!!! I have matched the position number on the countdown with the number mentioned in the song title!! Maybe I should do that one time.....nah. It was unintentional, but here it is, as previously guessed by Lori, for your dining and dancing pleasure. #7: Seven Lonely Days - Patsy Cline For all my life I’d only known this as a cry-in-your-beer country song, sung by women. Naturally, we had Patsy’s version; and, Jean Shepard also had a great rendition (which we also had). But the origins of this song aren’t exactly country: the original hit version was by none other than her nibs, Miss Georgia Gibbs! Yeah, there’s a country singer for you. To be fair, Gibbs’ original isn’t exactly what you normally expect out of her, so it’s not that far a stretch to see this song make its way into the world of country music, where it became a standard. And who better to present it to you than Patsy? Seven Lonely Days Written by Earl Shuman, Alden Shuman, and Marshall Brown Recorded by Patsy Cline From Showcase, 1961 Boo hoo hoo hoo:
